    Lo all,
    Would anyone know if a rear wheel with a Shimano 8spd 2300(HG50) cassette on it will take an upgrade to Tiagra 9spd or a 105 10spd or will I have to change the rear wheel axel/hub?

    Thanks in advance

    I had a rear wheel with an 8sp shimano cassette, I don't know which type, and I brought it to the bike shop along with a cracked rim rear wheel with a 9sp deore and they put the deore 9sp on to the hub of the 8sp and it was grand. they changed it in five mins and didn't charge me anything.

    Yes, it will be 8,9 or 10 speed compatible. These cassettes are all the same width. You need to upgrade a lot more than a cassette though to change to 9 or 10 speed, shifters, chain and possibly the deraileurs.

    Thanks for the info lads. Am hoping to change the groupset on the bike but I wasn't sure whether I would have to change the wheel hub on the rear or not if I was to go Shimano 8spd to Shimano 9/10spd. I know that if I were to change to Campag I would have to change for definate.

    Thanks again

    You could change to Campag if you changed the freehub body on the rear wheel. I don't think they are very expensive (about €40 if I'm not mistaken)

    Not a problem as long as the axle width (between the locknuts) doesn't change.
